摘要: Background Breast cancer is hormone related, as are cancers of the endometrium, ovary, and prostate. Several studies have suggested that higher extracellular levels androgens associated with breast risk, while biological evidence indicates protective. The codon 49 alanine to threonine substitution (A49T), 89 valine leucine (V89L) TA repeat polymorphisms steroid 5α-reductase type II (SRD5A2) gene considered functional respect enzyme activity converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. To test hypothesis these three risk cancer, a case–control study was conducted patients Aichi Cancer Center Hospital.
